    LET'S GET INTO IT SHALL WE?! The boys jump right into this week's Kraken Reaction (2:48) which comes right on the heels of Ron Francis and the Seattle Kraken pushing all their chips to the center of the table with free agent acquisitions of Brandon Montour (D) of the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, and Chandler Stephenson (C) of the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Jeff and Joey give their individual grades for the moves which sparks Joey to go off on a Seattle sports fan fueled rant on the history of convincing players to come to the Emerald City. The two speculate on what (if any) moves Ron has left up his sleeve as well as what the roster will look like with over $13 million being spent between two incoming assets to the organization. In NHL News, the two go over the insane day that was NHL free agency and share their winners with Joey offering up a sneaky pick for who he believes had an under the radar day but addressed needs to remain competitive. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from Jeff turning into Spider Man to the power of antibiotics and Joey's home being broken into and how he's on a mission to bring justice to the city of New Orleans.
